          Jimmy Fontana (13 novembre 1934 - 11 Settembre 2013) è stato un italiano attore, compositore e cantautore. Due delle sue canzoni più famose sono "Che sarà", eseguita anche da José Feliciano con Ricchi e Poveri e "Il Mondo"
            "Il Mondo" è una canzone composta da Carlo Pes, Lilli Greco, Gianni Meccia e Jimmy Fontana, ed eseguita da Jimmy Fontana. Gli arrangiamenti erano di Ennio Morricone. La canzone è stata presentata in anteprima all'edizione 1965 di Un disco per l'estate.
            Il singolo raggiunse il primo posto per quattro settimane tra luglio e ottobre 1965 nella hit parade italiana. Era la canzone di maggior successo di Fontana.
         La canzone è stata adattata in inglese da Robert Mellin con il titolo "My World" e registrata da The Ray Charles Singers, The Bachelors e Engelbert Humperdinck. Una versione francese intitolata "Un monde fait pour nous" è stata registrata da Hervé Vilard e da Richard Anthony. Lo stesso Fontana portò una versione spagnola, intitolata "El Mundo", in cima alle classifiche spagnole nel 1965. La versione spagnola fu anche seguita dal famoso cantante cubano Roberto Faz e dal cantante messicano Javier Solis.
      La canzone è stata successivamente interpretata da diversi artisti tra cui Gianni Morandi, Milva, Il Volo, Patrizio Buanne, Ornella Vanoni, Claudio Baglioni, Gianna Nannini, Franco Simone, Karel Gott, Al Bano, Punkreas & Piotta.
          Nel 2011, Sergio Dalma ha incluso una versione della canzone in Via Dalma II, la sua seconda raccolta di canzoni italiane eseguite in spagnolo. Pubblicato come primo singolo del disco, "El Mundo" è salito al numero 10 della classifica ufficiale pubblicata da Productores de Música de España. La canzone ha avuto successo anche in America Latina, in particolare in Argentina, grazie alla sua inclusione nella soap opera (telenovela) Dulce Amor.
         "Il Mondo" è stato utilizzato anche in diversi film, tra cui Richard Curtis' About Time e Philippe Le Guay' s Molière in bicicletta e la sequenza dei titoli di apertura della miniserie televisive italiane Il miracolo.

No, stanotte amore
Non ho più pensato a te
Ho aperto gli occhi
Per guardare intorno a me
E intorno a me
Girava il mondo come sempre
 
Gira il mondo gira
Nello spazio senza fine
Con gli amori appena nati
Con gli amori già finiti
Con la gioia e col dolore
Della gente come me
 
Il mondo
Soltanto adesso io ti guardo
Nel tuo silenzio io mi perdo
E sono niente accanto a te
 
Il mondo non si è fermato
Mai un momento
La notte insegue sempre il giorno
Ed il giorno verrà
Il mondo!
 
Il mondo non si è fermato
Mai un momento
La notte insegue sempre il giorno
Ed il giorno verrà
 
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la.

          O irmão deixou o Brasil quando ganhou uma bolsa de trabalho para Nova York, e Zizi agora sozinha na Bahia, rumava para o Rio de Janeiro: "Quando vi o avião sumindo no ar, entendi que minha vida estava por minha conta. Me deu uma solidão… E percebi que a Bahia já não fazia mais esse sentido todo para mim. Meu irmão já não estava mais lá e, profissionalmente, eu já tinha feito tudo que podia”

A paz invadiu o meu coração
De repente me encheu de paz
Como se o vento de um tufão
Arrancasse meus pés do chão
Onde eu já não me enterro mais

A paz fez um mar da revolução
Invadiu meu destino... A paz
Como aquela grande explosão
Uma bomba sobre o Japão
Fez nascer um Japão na paz

Eu pensei em mim, eu pensei em ti
Eu chorei por nós
Que contradição só a guerra faz
Nosso amor em paz
Eu vim, vim parar na beira do cais
Aonde a estrada chegou ao fim
Onde o fim da tarde é lilás
Onde o mar arrebenta em mim
O lamento de tantos ais (2x)

A paz invadiu o meu coração...
A paz fez um mar da revolução...

               Francis Albert Sinatra (/sɪˈnɑːtrə/; December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
               Born to Italian immigrants in Hoboken, New Jersey, Sinatra was greatly influenced by the intimate easy listening vocal style of Bing Crosby and began his musical career in the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. Sinatra found success as a solo artist after he signed with Columbia Records in 1943, becoming the idol of the "bobby soxers". He released his debut album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946. But by the early 1950s his professional career had stalled and he turned to Las Vegas, where he became one of its best known residency performers as part of the Rat Pack. His career was reborn in 1953 with the success of From Here to Eternity, with his performance subsequently winning an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Sinatra released several critically lauded albums, including In the Wee Small Hours (1955), Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1956), Come Fly with Me (1958), Only the Lonely (1958) and Nice 'n' Easy (1960).
               Sinatra left Capitol in 1960 to start his own record label, Reprise Records, and released a string of successful albums. In 1965, he recorded the retrospective album, September of My Years and starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music. After releasing Sinatra at the Sands, recorded at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Vegas with frequent collaborator Count Basie in early 1966, the following year he recorded one of his most famous collaborations with Tom Jobim, the album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was followed by 1968's Francis A. & Edward K. with Duke Ellington. Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971, but came out of retirement two years later. He recorded several albums and resumed performing at Caesars Palace, and released "New York, New York" in 1980. Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base, he toured both within the United States and internationally until shortly before his death in 1998.
              Sinatra forged a highly successful career as a film actor. After winning an Academy Award for From Here to Eternity, he starred in The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), and received critical acclaim for his performance in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). He appeared in various musicals such as On the Town (1949), Guys and Dolls (1955), High Society (1956), and Pal Joey (1957), winning another Golden Globe for the latter. Toward the end of his career, he frequently played detectives, including the title character in Tony Rome (1967). Sinatra would later receive the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1971. On television, The Frank Sinatra Show began on ABC in 1950, and he continued to make appearances on television throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Sinatra was also heavily involved with politics from the mid-1940s, and actively campaigned for presidents such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Sinatra was investigated by the FBI for his alleged relationship with the Mafia.
              While Sinatra never learned how to read music, he worked very hard from a young age to improve his abilities in all aspects of music. A perfectionist, renowned for his dress sense and performing presence, he always insisted on recording live with his band. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes". Sinatra led a colorful personal life, and was often involved in turbulent affairs with women, such as with his second wife Ava Gardner. He later married Mia Farrow in 1966 and Barbara Marx in 1976. Sinatra had several violent confrontations, usually with journalists he felt had crossed him, or work bosses with whom he had disagreements. He was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He was collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people. After Sinatra's death, American music critic Robert Christgau called him "the greatest singer of the 20th century", and he continues to be seen as an iconic figure.
               My Way is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1969 on his own Reprise label.
        The album is mainly a collection of then-contemporary pop songs, such as Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", and The Beatles' "Yesterday", French songs such as "If You Go Away", and the anthemic title song "My Way", which effectively became Sinatra's theme song in this stage of his career.
            On December 30, 1968 in Los Angeles, a few hours before going to celebrate the New Year 1969, at The Sands Casino from Las Vegas, My Way was recorded and mixed at EastWest Studios, then called Oceanway Recording. Later it was remixed and reissued by Concord Records in 2009 to mark its 40th Anniversary. Two bonus tracks were included, and new liner notes from Bono. The bonus tracks were a rehearsal of "For Once in My Life" from 1969, for Sinatra's eponymous Emmy Award nominated 1969 television special, Sinatra, and a live 1987 performance of "My Way" at the Reunion Arena, Dallas, Texas.
             Bono's liner notes had previously appeared as his New York Times Op-ed column on January 9, 2009. The article discussed Bono's personal relationship with Sinatra, and Sinatra's thoughts on Miles Davis. Bono also mused on Sinatra's performances of "My Way", and the new year.

And now the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
 
I've lived a life that's full,
I travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
 
Regrets I've had a few,
But then again too few to mention.
I did what I had to do,
And saw it through without exemption.
 
I planned each chartered course,
Each careful step along the by way.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
 
Yes,
There were times,
I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
 
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spit it out.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
And did it my way.
 
I've loved, I've laughed, and cried,
I've had my fail, my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
 
To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way.
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way.
 
For what is a man, what has he got,
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels,
And not the words of one who kneels.
 
The record shows,
I took the blows
And did it my way.
Yes, it was my way.


Frank Sinatra
